Bogus invalid email addresses

I've had numerous problems with the embedded "dot" email address for many years when trying to register on a web site or forum - where the entered email address was rejected as being "invalid".

As others here have mentioned, the "dot" is indeed totally legit according to published standards.

The only reason this problem exists is due to the ignorance and stupidity of some web site developers.

Another example of this stupidity is rejecting an email address because "spam" is part of the domain name - specifically "spamgourmet.com" which is a long-established anti-spam email service.

Sad and frustrating that such stupidity is allowed to exist on the internet.
